[Fate/Stay Talking] - 01
This certainly looked good. Ufotable are truly the Koyani of wasting talent and resources on shlock.
Here are my thoughts:
- These character designs are still garbage. Having these triangle faced weirdos against set beautiful rendered backdrops spoils the effort. If you're going to pay such lavish attention to the setting why not do the same for the faces?
- All these 1st person 'V/N' style shots are creepy as all hell.
- This fight was cool, I guess, but as it's not even the first episode there's zero tension.
- Rin's whole "turn to the side and blush like a 'tsun" routine got tired immediately.
- I wasn't bored.
I know right? I am only a few minutes in but every time Rin turns to her side it's like a triangle nose and it's kind of jarring considering how well everything else is done. It's my only real complaint so far, but yeah it takes me out of it every time.
But at least it's pacing itself better than the first episode of Fate/Zero so far. Introducing characters better. I remember how in the first episode I was getting characters mixed up with each other.

The action was pretty good, I'll give it that. Not really fond of Rin just yet (she seems a bit too bossy, stubborn and naive), but then again I wasn't really fond of Waver at the beginning of Fate/Zero, and he grew into one of the better characters in that show. That lunch scene seemed straight out of a visual novel as well (yes, I know). Curious to find out Archer's identity.
Oh, and heaters die when they're dead.
Oh yay, you're watching this too. This should be fun.
If this show turns out to be garbage I will blame Woofington because he got my in with Fate/Zero.
Is CR running like complete shit, worse than normal, right now?
Yeah it was a few minutes ago. First the F/SN video wouldn't load at all, then when it did load it was all blurry and pixelated. It's steadily getting better so I am gonna give it a few more moments so the ufotable art can really shine.
